new to DC DUMMYFILE

[M0KUJINKEN]

i am not sure one thing, help me out.
if a game is;
21MINS then the DUMMY should be 50MB leaving 3 MINS FOR BOOT.
is this right???

I have 80MINS CD-R, but this calculation is calculating a 74MINS is this method OK? i am sorrie if my english confusing you. (more detail below)

74 - 21 = 53 ----- let say 53 SHALL BE 50MINS FOR DUMMY! leaving 3MINUTES FOR BOOTING ^_^ i don't know what word to use to make you understand me. i'd try my best

STEP 3 ( IF YOU DONT WANT TO DUMMY THE FILE GOTO STEP 5

[terminator]

if you are using a 80 min cdr you can


use a 554 mb Track dummy for audio/data instead of audio.raw
or a 551,mb Track dummy for audio/data instead of mode2.raw
or a 535 mb file dummy for audio/data and data/data
or a 491 mb file dummy for the 45000 trick



my 80 min disks have a playtime of 79,59:73

1 second playtime is 75 sectors
so that are 79*60*75 + 59*60 +73 sectors
= 359998 sectors

you need lead in +pregap +min. track length + lead out
4500 150 300 6750
= 11700 sectors for the first session
and lead in + your data + lead out +2run_out frames
4500 + xxxxx 2250 2
= 6752 sectors for the 2.nd session
so whatever cdr you use, you loose 18452 sectors
for making a multisession cd

359998 - 18452 - playtime

(or the bytes used by the files in
your data directory/2336)

eg. 21min =60*75*21=94500 sectors


359998 - 18452-94500
=247046 sectors unused


make a 247046*2352 bytes +300*2352 bytes =581.757.792 bytes
file for a audio track dummy (for audio/data)
or 247046*2336 bytes + 300*2336 bytes=577.800.256 bytes
file for a data trackdummy (for data/data)
or
make a 247046*2336 =561.171.456 bytes file for a file dummy
or 515.083.328 byte file dummy if you are using the 45000 trick
